Hmmm, $17.00 plus gas for a day of fun for a good cause?

Maybe we could get a line of Foci to follow the bikes. I'd probably be up for it.

Around April, I'll start getting names together, so I can send it off to my buddy (who helps run the ride) and give him a list of all who are going.
It really is a great time. Lots of troops that go, great guys, and for an amesome cause. I never met SSG Vacho, but I've heard a lot from people who HAVE met him. He was truly a wonderful guy, and if MNFocus can join, that I believe we will turn a LOT of heads.

I did also post this on the MNMazda forum too. Hopefully we can have a fun day. :)

Well, I did some quick googlemaps stuff and found out that from st. Paul, ladysmith is 123miles and aprox a 3hr drive. The ride starts in ladysmith and is aprox 100miles round back to ladysmith. So if you are planning on attending, prepare for a long day. Lol

Just a Image to see if anyone is still planning on attending. It is just under a month away, and I was to let them know how many are planning on attending so we can show off. :lol:
